Super Bowl LI kills The Celebrity Apprentice

By +Alexa Rankin

The New Celebrity Apprentice has already seen it's lowest viewing figures since records began 14 seasons ago, but tonight could mark an all time low in viewership numbers thanks to Super Bowl LI. With at least 100 million people tuning in to see Tom Brady's Patriots lose to playing America's favorite Atlanta Falcons it is possible that Arnie's Apprentice could actually have less than 1 million viewers tonight.

Orange Is The New Black causes crime spree

By +Ian C

A New York woman went on a mini crime spree around Queens this week, after binge watching the newly released Season 3 of the Netflix original series, Orange is the New Black. Florence Weber, 33, of Bayside, Queens had been waiting patiently for almost a year to get her fix of the prison comedy/drama, and was all set with a bottle of wine and the remote to catch up on the latest happenings in Litchfield Penitentiary.

50 Shades of Grey- The Animated Series

By +Alexa Rankin

With the success of the E.L. James novels and the movie raking in over $250 million at the worldwide box office, the 50 shades franchise is definitely a money spinner. At least that's exactly what a small production company in Reno, NV are hoping for. Christasia Productions have signed an exclusive deal to produce 2 seasons of an animated show based on characters from the 50 Shades universe.

Star Trek: TNG - memorable quotes

What were you watching on TV 25 years ago? If you are anything like me then there is a strong chance that it could have been Star Trek: The Next Generation. A new incarnation of the original Star Trek with different values for a different time. Out with Kirk and in with Picard; a more thoughtful Captain who does not have the "Shoot it or Screw it" mentality when it comes to alien races.
